The mission of the Vermont Shamrocks is to provide hockey players an opportunity to play select level hockey while still playing for their local association or high school teams. Shamrock players are loyal leaders of their local association teams, yet the

The Vermont Shamrocks bring together some of the most competitive hockey players from all across Vermont and neighboring states. The goal is to provide a high level of hockey while promoting participation at the local level. The emphasis is on skill development and teamwork by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self-growth. We create a fun environment which focuses on important values such as sportsmanship, friendship, and love of the game. The lesson at the end of the day is that succeeding is really more about how they play the game – win or lose.

The Shamrocks are a fully volunteer program, and fees are set to only cover practice ice and tournament costs. Spring fees generally range from $180-$290 depending on number of and costs of specific tournaments for each team.
Team selection is based on tryouts (tryouts are open to any girl who is interested), player evaluations over the year and coaches recommendations.

Information will be posted here as schedules and dates are finalized. For team-specific questions, please direct questions to Head Coach of each team.

The Rocks sent a 14U tourney team to the Cranberry Classic, and with stingy defensive play and timely scooring the team found its way to the semi-final where they beat the Mass Spitfires 1-0 with a power play goal with five minutes remaining to punch their ticket to the finals against the Tier I Boston Bandits just two hours later. It was a tight 1-0 battle until the mid-third when the Bandits found the net again to extend the lead. The team played an impressive brand of hockey using nine skaters and a goalie wno played a smart and hardworking game through five tough games. (click on photo for full size version)
